Born on November 5th 1850 in Johnstown, Wisconsin, Ella Wheeler was the youngest of four children. She began to write as a
child and by the time she graduated was already well known as a poet throughout Wisconsin. Regarded more as a popular poet
than a literary poet her most famous work 'Solitude' reflects on a train journey she made where giving comfort to a distressed
fellow traveller she wrote how the others grief imposed itself for a time on her 'Laugh and the world laughs with you, Weep
and you weep alone'. It was published in 1883 and was immensely popular. The following year, 1884, she married Robert Wilcox.
They lived for a time in New York before moving to Connecticut. Their only child, a son, died shortly after birth. Here we
publish one of her many poetry books, Hello Boys!, that so endeared her to her audience. Ella died of breast cancer on October
30th, 1919
